Seesaw- You are recieving a QR code and login information for your child. This is our digital portfolio. Please feel free to check out the things your child has been working on. ;)
Math- In math we have started unit 3. The parent letter has been placed on the website under the Current Unit Information. It says Unit 5, but it is really Unit 3. :) We are focusing on addition, and addition strategies as well as subtraction and word problems. Next week, we will continue these things, but we will focus on making 10, fact families (2 + 3 = 5, 3 + 2 = 5, 5 - 2 = 3, 5-3=2) and we will determine if equations are true or false (2+3=1 false, 3+ 4=7 true).
Reading- In reading we are focusing on the main topic and details of informational text. With grammar we are continuing to practice contractions, but we are also focusing on commas in dates. (This is something the kids are struggling with.)
In writing we are coming closer to finishing our teaching books. We have done an introduction, a conclusion, and we have developed our chapters. We will be working on adding details to our chapters with pictures, labels, and clear details.
Social Studies- We have finished up our unit on Lewis/Clark/Sacagawea, but we are starting our unit on Our Earth Our Home. Children will be expected to know the continents, oceans, the lyrics to America the Beautiful, & The Star Spangled Banner, as well as knowing that we live on a continent, a country, a state, and a city.
